Phonotheque is an East London-based Creative Music Composition and Production Studio. We provide everything from full orchestral scores to three-note idents, action-responsive music for game soundtracks to individually crafted sound effects. We are well versed in media and digital applications, and have the skills and experience needed to be able to work in step with creative thinkers, directors and designers.

Founded by Peter Mauder in 2007, we now have a roster of clients covering three continents, all broadcast and digital media, the film and gaming industries, education, advertising and the arts.

Last year was a high profile year for Phonotheque, with most notably the Spike TV idents taking centre stage. This year, the brand new Channel 5 identity, featuring bespoke scores by Phonotheque, is just going live. A fantastic project that has kept the studio buzzing for months and just nominated for Best Original Composition in this year's Music and Sound Awards

Sydney based agency The Works have commissioned 5 new pieces for their 'Visit Canberra' campaign, also about to go live. Great project, proving international time zones no impediment to either creative dialogue or delivery.

And new LA Museum of Art The Broad now boasts a guided tour for children with music and sound by Phonotheque. A lot of fun with this commission from Seahorse.

Two new VR projects have also been keeping us busy, in particular an exciting 3D environment for a Zaha Hadid-designed exhibit at the Science Museum.

Brand new Idents for the youngest of the UK's terrestrial channels, Channel 5, with specially commissioned music by Phonotheque.

The project was led by Channel 5's Jo Bacon and Jody Malam, creative director at MTV, shot by Academy and directed by Si&Ad. The idents draw on the idea of Channel 5 making everyday life better, with a series of short films each featuring a moment of surprise.

Working closely with Intermission for the last couple of years has brought a lot of great projects, not to mention awards, to Phonotheque's door. From World Cinema to Hollywood, it's always exciting to pick up a brief. Work is always a closely held secret until its launch, but there are some really amazing projects currently in the pipeline - watch this space.

Lots of work on some amazing projects from Fox Searchlight, not least the music for the Black Swan trailer… Phonotheque remixed orchestral work "Eros" by composer Ludovico Einaudi for this peach of a commission from Create - the remix later to be released on itunes at Einaudi"s request. More great commissions on high profile projects this year too...

Lots of work for MTV over the last couple of years - a few promos for car-crash telly show Geordie Shore, and a challenging but very enjoyable job creating a track for "Music Matters" - a promo series featuring young artists decribing why music is so important to them.

Bafta award-winning game studio Preloaded have been working closely with Phonotheque on numerous projects since the notable success of their game The End. Continuing exciting work for Amplify in America on a series of games covering different fields of learning - from literature to mathematics, physics and language - and work for Disney writing character themes for their "Lost and Found" game...

Brand new Idents for the youngest of the UK's terrestrial channels, Channel 5, with specially commissioned music by Phonotheque.

The project was led by Channel 5's Jo Bacon and Jody Malam, creative director at MTV, shot by Academy and directed by Si&Ad. Rather than focusing on the logo, the idents draw on the idea of Channel 5 making everyday life better, with a series of short films each featuring a moment of surprise.

Straightforward at first sight perhaps, but this track was fiendishly difficult to create. Supplied with a selection of film takes of drummer Ash freestyling for the cameras, a track had to be built out of clips - the problem being there had been no tempo guide for Ash to drum along to at the shoot, so nothing was at the same speed. So, having searched the takes for vaguely matching snippets, the process of writing a track around them began. Each drum had to be sampled or emulated to make a kit with which to build the new track, then the music parts performed and recorded. Painstaking, but a great result.

Three different promos for Geordie shore - the first a Gainsbourg-style arty wigout for this mock perfume ad "Eau de Georde", the second working in conjunction with Goldie Lookin Chain to produce a suitably foul-mouthed rap track "I'm On A Dock" (working title), and the third a pompous orchestral remix of the Kaiser Chiefs "I Predict A Riot"...

Ongoing work for Amplify on their huge educational undertaking - Story Cards, a literary top trumps game, and Crafty Cut, a physics game, both required music to change seamlessly dependent on gameplay, with Story Cards proximity to either death or victory, and with Crafty Cut increasing difficulty. For each, multiple layers of music were written that could be overlayed and mixed between, see for yourself with the Story Cards and Crafty Cut music players.

Battle Fractions (Mlob Rule), a game set on an alien, tribal world, battles tribes against one another using mathematics as a means of attack and defence. TyrAnt gives the player control of a colony of leafcutter ants in their struggle to reproduce and survive.

Combining live cello, orchestral work and glitch electronica, the resulting sweet yet uneasy melodies have provided the perfect soundscape for this groundbreaking game about death and the afterlife. The End won Best Game award at the BIMAs and marks the start of the very enjoyable and fruitful working relationship between Preloaded and Phonotheque.

A great project to be involved with, requiring 7 fully orchestrated character pieces and an overarching theme. The project featured seven Disney Fairies, each with distinct characteristics, these to be reflected in their theme pieces.
